Civic Participation

Who is president hasn't mattered since maybe as far back as Lyndon B. Johnson(at least in mattered when Truman was president-after that it's a little sketchy). So why do we pretend that it does matter? The two parties are exactly the same, and there aren't enough people actually voting in America to have a true popular vote winner. The president may as well be decided by the electoral college throwing a coin in the air with one side being blue and the other side being red.

Please look at the article and watch the video of this incident before replying.

Are these the actions of a rogue state? If so, should it be getting weapons and money from the EU and US?

I have a friend that hasnt ever voted, but is always complaining about things that elected officials are doing "Bush is ruining the country, etc". I always tell him he doesnt have the right to complain because he didnt vote and make his voice heard, am I wrong? He has always been told it doesnt make any difference, and his voice doesnt matter. I always tell him he should vote, so he can have a say, but he doesnt listen. Am I right or wrong?

I want to know what do you guys think would happen if people in local areas started forming "well regulated militias" basicly an army taking orders from the people directly not from the president. What do you think of this whats your opinion on local militias forming? What if it became as strong as the presidents military? Do you think the government would oppose it? and why? Try and form one and see the out come.

We all know that the GOP is out to line the pockets of the rich, so why do they do it?

Was it just office space? What else was there? Did some really rich people live there? I know there was a resturant up there. I would love to see pictures of the insides of these twin marvels. I am sorry I never went to see them when I was in New York in the 1980's. I remember seeing them and saying WOW!

I have read so many bash bush statements with little explanation or facts to that point of view. I don't agree with everything bush has done, but he is not perfect. either is anyone else. the clinton adm. weakend our millitary and intel agcys. the bad guys got stronger and bush is doing what he believes is right. As an american do you think only americans are entitled to freedom and prosperity, dictatorship leaves little too no chance for that.

Not trying to be cruel here...but really what does the color of somebody's skin have to do with ANYTHING? I wish somebody would invent a drug to administer at birth to make everybody the same color so we could get away from such a trivial issue and focus on things that are far more important!!! I know I am gonna get some bashing on this one...so just to be clear...I don't think we really need to drug a baby, ok?

No one else but you can do it because you are a DEAD RINGER for a VERY BAD PERSON. The CIA will kill or capture this man or woman and teach you how to pass yourself off as his/her imposter. The mission is extremely dangerous and the odds are not in your favor that you will both save the world and get out of it alive. Would you do it?

Has anyone else notice lately the large number of Identities that have been showing up with pro-islamic facist messages. I have been on this site now for a couple of months or so, but these creeps keep showing up. Are other people noticing these people as well?
